Winonics Brea, an Additive Circuits Technologies, LLC company, is pleased to announce its “Facility Master Plan.”
Winonics has set out to differentiate itself by investing approximately $3.9 million in to a facility-wide renovation plan that includes extensive equipment and technology upgrades along with infrastructure improvements that are grounded in the principles of lean manufacturing and lean six sigma disciplines.
The Facility Master Plan offers a vision into advanced technology PCB fabrication with the expectations of creating a world-class PCB manufacturing facility and a research and development center for the company’s patented additive manufacturing technology.
“We are investing in our four pillars; equipment and technology, people, process, and methodology,” said David Torp, Winonics’ CEO. “When fully executed the plan is transformative and will set a new standard for PCB manufacturing; placing Winonics among the top advanced technology providers in the country.”
The plan, which will support Winonics’ strategic plan priorities and facilitate the commercialization of the company’s additive manufacturing technology, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.

Material Insight: Diversifying PCB Manufacturing Through Nearshoring
06/26/2024 | Dr. Preeya Kuray -- Column: Material InsightIn recent years, there has been a notable shift in the electronics manufacturing supply chain landscape. However, the global supply chain for the domestic PCB industry has been steadily shifting since the 1980s, when the United States began offshoring PCB manufacturing to other countries. But because of the quality control issues, rising international tariffs, and unclear intellectual property protection involved in offshoring, reshoring has become a particularly hot topic.
SMTA Oregon Event Spreads Its Wings
06/25/2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Hillsboro, Oregon is home to the largest Intel campus in the United States as the base of operations for most of Intel’s CPU development. Hillsboro boasts experts and teams in IC and PCB physical layout, packaging, and R&D. Intel and satellite companies in its orbit deliver PCB fabrication and PCB assembly as well. So it's no surprise that SMTA Oregon’s annual meeting takes place practically in the shadows of Intel’s Hillsboro campus.
